Thanks for your patch!

Wake-on-LAN now works for me on Salvator-X (both H3 and M3).

However, after a few cycles, Ethernet stopped working, because CMA ran out of
memory:

    cma: cma_alloc: alloc failed, req-size: 6 pages, ret: -4
    dpm_run_callback(): ravb_resume+0x0/0x148 returns -12
    PM: Device e6800000.ethernet failed to resume: error -12

Are we still missing some ravb patches in net-next, or is this a different
issue?

When using PSCI suspend/resume, and Wake-on-LAN cannot work due to
PSCI firmware issues, Ethernet fails to come up afterwards:

    ravb e6800000.ethernet eth0: failed to switch device to config mode
    ravb e6800000.ethernet eth0: device will be stopped after h/w
processes are done.
    ravb e6800000.ethernet eth0: failed to switch device to config mode
    dpm_run_callback(): ravb_resume+0x0/0x148 returns -110
    PM: Device e6800000.ethernet failed to resume: error -110

Your resume routine cannot assume RAVB is in a sane mode, as it will
have been reset if PSCI suspend was used.

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
